The Miami Dolphins are bringing back free agent snapper John Denney, according to a league source.

Denney, 39, has played 208 career games since 2005, all for the Dolphins.

Denney has played all 16 games every year of his career. He has been the model of consistency.

“I’ll be here as long as I can. I want to stay here until I get shown the door,” Denney said at the end of last season.

In 2016, Denney was named a team captain after Reshad Jones’ injury.

“(Denney’s) never too high, never too low,” Dolphins associate head coach and special teams coach Darren Rizzi said. “He’s just got a really, really good temperament and personality. He’s great for the younger guys… He’s seen a lot of things around here. He’s been through a lot of coaches and he’s been through a lot of regimes. He’s seen a lot of things and he’s a very well-grounded guy.”
